This German grammar video shows you how to dissect and understand German cases so you can know who is who and what is what, every time!
In this ‘German for beginners’ video, you’ll learn about the CORE German grammar topic of THE CASE SYSTEM.
This video simplifies this aspect of German grammar by showing you the LOGIC behind how the case system impacts nouns and other words:
1. All nouns must have a case.
2. The determiners & adjectives coming IN FRONT OF nouns take slight changes (called ‘declensions’).
3. The correct declensions to use are determined by the noun’s gender (see video #3), the noun’s case (this video) and the declension pattern (coming up!)
The Case System uses slight changes on the ends of particular words in order to communicate how the who’s and what’s in a sentence relate to each other: Did I bake a cake for my friend or did I bake a friend for my cake? CASE makes all the difference here!
You MUST MUST MUST know how to use the German case system if you want to actually speak German. But the way this topic is conventionally taught makes students wail and gnash their teeth.
The good news is that learning this German grammar topic can be SO much easier!!! In this video, I introduce you to the ‘All-In-One’ German Declensions Chart that REPLACES 10+ charts!
Instead of being bogged down by charts that do the work for you (and that you then use as a crutch), this video will explain HOW the case system works (principles and patterns, my friends! That’s my shtick!).
When you connect-the-dots on the German case system, you will be empowered to actually use it for yourself. And THAT’S when you’ll be able to actually speak German! Ready?!
